§* Bon Four” ter Divertissement pour le Piano-" 
forte, auec Accompagnement de Flute (ad li- 
bitum). Compose et dedié 2 ses Amis par T. 
Latour, Esq. 4s. AE et 
The title of this piece seems to be de- 
rived from tixe style of the music, which 
exbibits a chace, or the spurt of the 
morning. Mr. Latour has throughout 
the piece evinced much judginent, and 
eonsiderable. strength of fancy. The 
scene in his own mid is clearly de- 
icted to the hearer, and his music re- 
lates a tale not easily to be misunder- 
stood. ‘We ourselves listened to “ fon 
Jour” with much real pleasure, and the 
Jovers of good composition will, we are 
persuaded, join us in giving Mr. Latour 
tull credit for the ingenuity he has dis- 
played. 
Siz Sanmonetts, with an Accompaniment for the 
Piano-forte; or Harp, Composed by F~ Ross, 
Esq. 6 Aberdeen. 
The melodies of these canzonetts are 
conceived with taste, and characterized 
by much force and truth of expression. 
Most of the passages are stamped with 
originality, arise out of each other with 
the ease of nature, and lie very commo- 
diously for the voice. This may espe- 
cially be said of three or four of the com- 
positions; but the whole work is so pleas- 
mig in its-style, and so easy of execution, 
that we venture little in auguring its fa- 
vourable reception with the generality of 
vocal practitioners. 
A y's Dream, harmonized far four Voices, with 
Accompaniment for the Pians-forte, by Dr. 
bn Clarke, of Cambridge. 23. Gd. 
The several parts of this vocal quar- 
tett are disposed with art, and produce 
an effect analogous to the sense of the 
words, The accompaniment is arranged 
in a corresponding style, and the'veveral 
combination is at once artificial and iim- 
pressive. 
A Set of Divertimentos for the Potent Flagealet 
and Piano forte. Composed and dedicated to 
Miss H.W. Wynn, by “Fobn Parry. 5s. 
These divertimentos are written with

hearers. ‘The melody, or treble part, is’ 
so constructed as to equally suic the fla-* 
geolet and piano-forte ; and the latter in-

accompanying part, may, ia the absence

A Collection of Airs for the Piano-forte. Cone- 
Posed, selected, and inscribed, to Miis Clayten, 
by J. Mazxinghi, Esq. 3s. : 
This collection comprizes five pieces, 
a Swiss March, a Tyrolese Minuet, a 
Waltz, a Quadrile, and a Minuetto Mi- 
litaire. Lhey are all pleasing in their 
kind, and are so arranged with respect to 
each other as to form a well-contrasted 
suite of familiar movements. 
Three Serenatas for the Piano-forte, with an Ac« 
companiment for the Flute (ad libitum), Com- 
posed by T. Haigh. 5s. : 
We find in these serenatas much spirit: 
and variety of fancy. ‘The passages ave 
turned with ingenuity, and a unity of 
idea pervades each piece, impressing the 
ear with one distinguishing aud prevail- 
ing chaacter, that courts and fixes the 
attention, ©The accompaniment is ar- 
ranged with address, and calculated to 
heighten the general ¢ffect. 
_* Each bas a Lower but me,” a Ballad, sung 
by Wirs. Liston at the Theatre-royal, Hay- 
market. Composed by ¥obn Whitaker, 1s. Gd. 
‘The pleasant, fauiliar, and truly cha- 
racterisuie style of. this little ballad will, 
not fail to recommend it to the notice of 
the lovers of chaste vocal humour. The. 
air is so appropriate as to seem to lave 
issued from the same mind, and at the 
same moment, with the words; and is, of, 
course, with all its necessary simplicity, 
both striking and interesting. 
The Brighton Rondo, a favourite Air, performed 
ly the Band of the King’s Dragoon Guards. 
Composed and dedicated ta the Officers of the 
Regiment by T H. Wright, 1s. 6d. 
The subject of this rondo is lively and. 
agreeable, and the digressions are cone 
ducted with connection aud consistevey. 
The juvenile practitioner will find the 
piece a pleasant and improving exer- 
cise.
